- Pepper Potts: I'm taking a shower.
- Tony Stark: Okay.
- Pepper Potts: And you're gonna join me.
- Tony Stark: Better.
- [Tony tries to embrace Pepper]
- Pepper Potts: Don't!
- Tony Stark: It's okay...
- Pepper Potts: I'm hot, I'll hurt you!
- Tony Stark: [touches Pepper] No, you won't. See? Not hot.
- Pepper Potts: Am I going to be okay?
- Tony Stark: No. You're in a relationship with me, nothing will ever be okay. But I had this twenty years ago when I was drunk, I can sort it out. I fix stuff.
- Pepper Potts: Who's the hot mess now?
- [a call-back to Tony's early statement to Pepper that he was a "piping hot mess."]
- Tony Stark: That's debatable. But you look great like this, the repulsor and the sports bra...
- Pepper Potts: I think I understand why you don't want to give up the suits. What have I got to complain about now?
- Tony Stark: Well, it's me. You'll find something.
- [Tony seals Pepper in the Mark 42 armor, then she saves him from falling debris]
- Pepper Potts: I got you!
- Tony Stark: I got you first!
- [Pepper uses a repulsor on Killian]
- Tony Stark: Honey?
- Pepper Potts: Oh my god... that was really violent...
- Pepper Potts: You think he'll help you... he won't.
- Aldrich Killian: It's more, uh, embarrassing than that. You're here as my, uh...
- Pepper Potts: Trophy.
- Aldrich Killian: Yeah.
- Tony Stark: See what happens when you hang out with my ex-girlfriends?
- Pepper Potts: You are such a jerk!
- Pepper Potts: ...and all your distractions?
- Tony Stark: Uh, I'm going to shave them down a bit...
- [taps earpiece]
- Tony Stark: Jarvis. Hey.
- Jarvis: All wrapped up here, sir. Will there be anything else?
- Tony Stark: You know what to do.
- Jarvis: The Clean Slate Protocol, sir?
- Tony Stark: Screw it, it's Christmas! Yes, yes!
- [One by one the suits explode]
- Tony Stark: [embraces Pepper] OK so far? You like it?
- Pepper Potts: [crying] It'll do.
- [from TV spot]
- Tony Stark: [suits up] You know, it's moments like these when I realize how much of a superhero I am.
- Pepper Potts: Wow!
- Tony Stark: Nothing's been the same since New York.
- Pepper Potts: Oh, really? I didn't notice that at all.
- Tony Stark: You experience things and then they're over, and you still can't explain them. Gods, aliens, other dimensions. I'm just a man in a can. The only reason I haven't cracked up is probably because you moved in. Which is great. I love you. I'm lucky. But honey, I can't sleep. You go to bed, I come down here. I do what I know. I tinker. I... Threat is imminent. And I have to protect the one thing that I can't live without. That's you. And my suits, they're, uh... Machines. They're part of me.
